Cold wet weather at the minute means using the air con and rear window heater.
I've noticed that if I hit the Max Defrost button hit goes to Max Temp ("HI"), brings the fans up and directs the heat to the window. It also switches on the rear windows heating strips. It runs for 5 minutes or so then returns to the previous settings.
If I switch the rear window heater on by itself in previous cars it would run for 5 minutes and switch off. IN my 500X it runs until I cancel it manually (as far as I can see). I does turn off after a 15-20 minute drive to or from work.
Is there a timer on this?
